Sure thing, my morning routine is basically done , let's go said Liam as he followed Hayato. Hayato then changes into his basketball gears and tied his shoe laces.
He then proceeded to tap his shoe on the floor testing it.
How about we play a friendly one vs one , for old time's sake said Hayato as he tied his headband. Okay, but don't expect me to go easy on you said Liam. We'll be playing ones and twos, so threes counts as two and twos count as ones, first to sixteen.
You're still as cunning as ever, taking advantage of the fact that I can't shoot. Sure it's a underhanded tactic but it may be the only way that I can win against you said Hayato. Okay, I'll shoot for it said Hayato as he sets up and shoots a three pointer that swishes. Lucky, I sank my first shot of the day, you are totally going to lose.
Check up you big old giant said Hayato as he smirked. Liam then passes the basketball to Hayato and took a defensive stance. Bring it on, show me what you've got. To test Liam, Hayato fakes a shot however, to his shot Liam doesn't move an inch.
So you really think that I'm bluffing huh said Hayato to himself as he shoots a three pointer that swishes. That's two points, you better guard me up close if you want to win because I'm on fire today .
Without saying a word Liam passes the basketball to Hayato once more. Come on you won't step up? Are you sure that you want to give up two more points? You have to show me that you can score efficiently before I respect your outside shots said Liam.
Okay, that's just lowkey disrespectful, if you are not going to step up , then its time for you to check up said Hayato as he shoots and three pointer that hits the backboard and scores. As the ball falls to the ground a serious look was visible on Liam's face.
Man am I on fire today, three consecutive three pointers in a row. Are you still going to sit back and watch me beat you sixteen to zero? Liam then passes the basketball again to Hayato and immediately after he starts
applying defensive pressure on Hayato.
Yes , that's much better, I thought you were taking this for a joke said Hayato as he sweeps and then attacks Liam's left leg dribbling pass him in the process. Liam runs him down however Hayato stops mid drive and then pulls up for a mid ranged shot. Liam with a long reach and a height of a hundred and ninety eight centimeters reacted and jumpd into the air swatting the basketball to the floor.
Damn so high, you sure can jump said Hayato impressed. Check up Hayato said Liam as he passed the ball to him. Hayato then passes the basketball to Liam who immediately bodies and overpower him all the way to the rim. Damn , he's really strong said Hayato as he struggled. Liam then spins off of Hayato and dunks the ball with two hands. As the Basketball bounces on the floor Liam says " only fifteen more points to go."
And you're saying that I have the advantage. After Hayato checks him once more , Liam took his two steps and then dunks the basketball with one hand. He then scored a layup after that. There is no way that I can guard that, the difference in our height, wingspan and athleticism is far too great, i can't take him on the post, I'll have to figure out a way to stop him said Hayato to himself.
Liam faked to the left and then shoots a layup on the right which swishes. After being checked again he shoots a floater that swishes. Immediately after Liam dribbles the basketball to the hoop and playfully does a hook shot that swishes. Utilizing his size Liam pounds Hayato under the basketball rim and then proceeded to casually dunk the on him.
I'm screwed if I let him anywhere near the post, I'll have to steal the ball mean while he dribbles on the outside. Liam then crosses Hayato and then hop stepped into a reverse dunk. He then scored a left handed layup.
Yeah there's no way that I'm beating him, I can't stop his offense, he's so strong and powerful , having him on our team would make us the best in the prefecture said Hayato to himself.
Liam then shoots another layup that swishes. And just like that it's now ten to four, six more points to go until you're beaten, your cheeky tactics won't save you this time. I may be lacking in height compared to you but I'm not just going to roll over here. This time bracing himself, Hayato passes the basketball to Liam and then Liam backs him down towards the rim.
Just try to match his rhythm, find that brief moment that the ball will show, and then rush in an steal it now!! Said Hayato to himself as he steals the basketball. Whoa, he took the ball away from me, not bad Hayato. Hayato then dribbles outside the three point arc and drives towards the rim. Liam rushes towards him with the intention to block.
Hayato however hop steps and fakes a Layup which Liam jumped to block . He faked me out and I fell for it . Hayato then steps through and goes for a reverse layup. As he recovers liam attempts to block the shot but it was to late and the ball swishes. I totally got you didn't i? Asked Hayato as he smirked.
You were just lucky that's all said Liam as he smiled.We'll see about that, I'll turn this game around. Liam passes the ball to Hayato and took a defensive stance.I bet he wouldn't expect me to shoot now since I broke through to the rim earlier, I'll just shoot so that I can close the gap said Hayato as he shoots a three pointer.
Liam who expected this jumps and blocks the basketball. Damn he really can reach pretty high, his defense is almost impenetrable. For the rest of the game Liam dominates Hayato. He dunks the ball on Hayato, he also go by Hayato and does a back scratcher dunk.
With the game now being fifteen to five Liam bounces the basketball and pounds Hayato under the rim. He then dunks with both hands and held on to the rim. And that's game, sixteen to five. Yeah, you won fare and square, though you were using your height to gain the upper hand.
Please don't be making excuses a lost is a lost said Liam as he jumped down. Yeah you're right and I accept it. This was truly fun , let's do this again some day said Liam as he smiled. Yes, definitely replied Hayato.
